Embracing the Wind (Formentera Series #2)

Chapter 20

I need to be more careful. Margaux was the one who spread the news kaya alam kong inaabangan na niya ang bawat kilos namin ni Ice. Alam kong marami nang nakasunod sa akin ngayon para mas lalo pa nilang malaman ang katotohanan. I want to hug him but I can't go to him right now. Things are still complicated.

Tinanggal ko ang pagkakatalukbong ko ng kumot sa katawan at kinapa ang phone ko. Ice's calling me. Agad kong sinagot ito.

Like the usual, he was wearing his gold necklace. He was aslo wearing a black fitted t-shirt kaya bumabakat ang mga muscles niya.

"Have you eaten, baby?" God, I miss his deep voice. I miss him so much.

Tumango ako. "You?"

"Yeah. I'm done. Are you okay? You look pale," nag-aalalang tanong niya habang naglalakad. Maya-maya lang ay humiga na siya sa kama. Ang gwapo niya.

"I'm not sick, I'm just pale, Ice..." mahinang sabi ko.

Nahihiya ako sa kanya dahil sa ginawa ko. Nagawa niyang sabihin na mahal niya ako pero itinanggi ko siya.

"Are you tired? Do you want to sleep now?" he asked so I shook my head.

"I want to talk to you. Let's not end this call. Let's talk until we fall asleep, Ice..." I said in a low voice.

"Alright, my baby."

I smiled. He look so handsome. I never imagined that he would be my boyfriend but I did not regret being his girlfriend because being his girlfriend was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I'm lucky to have him and to be his girl.

"I love you, Ice. Hindi 'yan magbabago," I said and a smile plastered on his face.

Sa akin lamang siya ngumingiti... ako lang ang nakakakita ng ngiti niya... sa akin lang niya ipinapakita ang totoong siya... at napakaswerte ko dahil doon.

"I love you more, my baby. I love you, Chayenne." Kumuha siya ng unan at niyakap 'yon. I want to be with him right now. Gusto ko siyang yakapin.

"I love you, Ice..." Pag-uulit ko.

"Mahal kita, Yen... mahal na mahal. I know you're sleepy. You can sleep now. I will just watch you, baby. Rest," aniya kaya tumagilid ako at niyakap ang unan.

"I love you, Ice," I said before closing my eyes.

"I love you, too, my baby..."

I woke up and I realized that I didn't charge my phone. It was now low battery. 1%. Halos manlumo ako dahil nakita kong low batt ang phone ko. Ito talaga ang pinaka ayaw ko sa umaga, ang makitang hindi nakacharge ang cellphone ko. Ayoko dahil importante sa akin ang phone, rito kami nag-uusap ni Ice kapag hindi kami magkasama.

I should buy a new phone.

Tumayo ako para i-charge ang phone ko. And after that, I opened my iPad and my Instagram. Dati ay walang Instagram si Ice pero dahil sa akin, gumawa siya ng IG para roon kami mag-usap. Wala siyang finollow kundi ako at private rin ang account niya.

I immediately dmed him.

@hopelevisay
Hey, Ice. I just woke up. Are you awake?

@icedamian
Good morning, baby.

@icedamian
Yup, baby. Eat your breakfast. I'm sorry I can't go to you right now, I can't cook you breakfast. There are so many reporters outside my house.

I smiled and started to type a message.

@hopelevisay
It's okay, Ice. Wait, I'll just fix myself.

@icedamian
I love you.

Mas lumawak ang ngiti ko at nag reply sa kanya. Pagkatapos ay naligo ako para ayusin ang sarili ko.
